Survey says... the Ascension FUNd Feud was a hit! 🎓 Our team had a great
time testing our knowledge of “all things Ascension,” and every bit of it supported The Ascension Fund’s educational grants for Ascension Public Schools.

Congratulations to our very own Nick Falgout & his Leadership Ascension Team (Pencils & Possibilities) for raising $10,000 for the Ascension Fund. Fun night for a great cause!

Today our team joined the St. George Chamber of Commerce for State of the City 2026: Celebrating Founders Day.

We were proud to support this event as a sponsor and to hear Mayor Dustin Yates share the City’s progress over the past year and its priorities for the year ahead. It was also special to celebrate the residents, business owners, and volunteers who helped build St. George from the ground up.

Thank you to the St. George Chamber for bringing the community together. We’re excited to keep growing alongside St. George.

The first State of the City presented by IBTS for the City of St. George is in the books. 🏛️

Yesterday, we welcomed members, business owners, developers, and community leaders to White Oak Estate & Gardens for a direct account from Mayor Dustin Yates on where St. George stands today, what the City is building, and what is coming next. From the comprehensive plan to the City’s growing systems and services, the picture is clear: St. George is growing, and it is growing with intention.

Congratulations to this year’s Community Award honorees:

🏅 Outstanding Employee of the Year: Brandon Boylan, Finance Director, City of St. George
🏅 Outstanding Citizen: Travis Thornton, CCIM, our Chairman of the Board
🏅 Vendor of the Year: Green Seasons

Thank you to Mayor Yates and the City of St. George for partnering with us on this event, and to David Latona of DEMCO for moderating the Q&A.

None of this happens without our sponsors.

Thank you to IBTS, our Presenting Sponsor, DEMCO, our Mayor’s Circle Sponsor, Ochsner Health, our Networking Sponsor, and our Supporting Sponsors McKim & Creed, Gulf Coast Bank & Trust, HR Integrity Leadership, Forte and Tablada, and Crump Wilson Architects.

Thank you as well to our table hosts, Bank of Zachary and The Delta Resource Group.

This is the first of what we intend to be an annual tradition. We look forward to seeing you next year.

I think it’s safe to say Transportation Day was a hit with the kids! 😄 Our team had an absolute blast joining WTS Greater Baton Rouge at the EBR Parish Main Library for free STEM activities, and seeing how excited the kids and teens were made our Saturday. Thank you to WTS Greater Baton Rouge for a great event!

Here's a look inside the new The Park & Geaux Hub at LSU! Forte and Tablada provided structural and civil site design services for this project, working alongside prime consultant CARBO Landscape Architecture and owner LSU. It’s a great example of what happens when engineering and landscape architecture come together to create spaces people love to spend time in.

Thank you to CARBO and LSU for the opportunity to be part of this team. We can’t wait to see the campus community enjoy it for years to come!

Last week, our team headed down to New Orleans for the AAPA Annual Convention, and we were proud to be one of the sponsors of The Big Easy Social!

Jack Koban, PhD, PE, PG, had the chance to welcome the crowd on behalf of Forte and Tablada, thank everyone for coming out, and share a little about who we are and what we do. He was joined by colleagues Brad Holleman, PE, PLS, Jordan Pearson, PE, and John Shires, PE.

Ports keep Louisiana and our nation moving, and it was a privilege to spend the evening with the people who make that happen. Thank you to AAPA for hosting a great convention and to everyone who stopped by to connect with us.

What a day on the course! Our team was out at Pelican Point Golf Club for the 28th Annual Ascension Chamber Golf Classic, presented by R.J. Daigle & Sons Contractors.

Some of us teed it up for 18 holes, and others held it down at our tent, catching up with friends, clients, and partners from across Ascension Parish. Either way, it was a great day of golf and connections.

Thank you to the Ascension Chamber of Commerce for hosting another great tournament, and to everyone who stopped by our tent to say hello. We'll see you next year!

Our own Jason Fennell is the structural engineer on the design team, led by Domain Architecture, for River Parishes Community College's new campus.

This project is more than a building. Set to open in Spring 2028, the new campus will be a community hub and a workforce development training center, opening doors for students and families across the River Region for years to come.

Congratulations to Quintin D. Taylor and the whole RPCC team on this milestone. Jason is grateful to help build the front door to opportunity.
